Tangled Aventures season 1 (Kingdom of Corona)

Chapter 20: Eugene's Plan

The thief ran towards the dock. He was nearly home free. Valor grins her silver eyes glowed the moment the thief looks back. Valor shifts into her wolf form. The man screams in fear as she growls at him. Valor took a few steps towards, causing him to stagger backwards. Eugene sticks a foot out and trips him up.

The thief quickly turns around as Eugene appears. As he glances behind to see the huge black wolf walking towards him. Valor bared her teeth. Her silver eyes locked with Eugene she twitches her ear. Smiling Eugene snags the dagger and with a quick swipe cuts the rope.

A single fish hit him in the head. The thief gave a shocked look as the rest fell onto him along with the net. Valor howls with laughter as she and Eugene walk over. Valor shifts back. "Nice work!" She praises him. Her icy blue eyes glowed. "Pst.. amateur."

Valor looks at the man smiling. "What are you?" Valor knelt down. "Werewolf." The thief stared in shock. Then the captain's voice rang out. "Valor! Rider!" She looks up to see him walking up with the others. "What are you two doing here?" He asked.

"Well Captain." Eugene said. His confidence flaring up. "I don't want to say we I.. er we did your job for you, but I just did your job for you." Valor shakes her head. "It was the old distract-and-run-to-the-dock-to-catch-the-last-ferry tactic." Eugene said.

"He's right Captain. You should thank him." Valor joins them. "I know that trick because Invited it. So, you're welcome, come on Wolfe let's go." He said walking off. Valor grins and waves to them before following after. She glances at Eugene who still wore a confident smirk.

"I don't believe it. Flynn Rider on the side of law and order." Stan said. Eugene stops in his tracks. Then his face lit up. "Eu-gene?" Valor asked him. 'Oh, no, what have I gotten myself into?'

"You're are gonna be Royal Guards?" Valor  frowns looking around the room. 'What's with everything?'  "It makes total sense, right?  I tried having a normal job, but I'm not great with authority. Being a guard I am the authority." Eugene said. "Plus I look great in a uniform." Valor shakes her head at him. "So, Raps, What with everything?" She asks.

All around the princess were so many things. Paint, guitar a glob, etc. "What's with all this stuff Blondie?" Eugene jumps in realizing the clutter.

Rapunzel sighs. "I was having a lot of trouble picking just one interest for my portrait, and then it hit me. I'll pose doing all of them, right?" Valor looks about. "What do you think?" She asked. Eugene looks over to Pascal. "Pascal?" He asks the chameleon. Pascal croaks. "Maybe not your best idea, but, but I heard the worst." Valor sighs. "Look, Raps. I am not too sure on what's going on here, but don't get carried away."

"Like you becoming a Royal Guard?" Cassandra said to Eugene while leaning on the door. "H-How long have you been standing there?" Eugene stammers. Valor looks over to Cassandra and groves her friendly smile.

"Hey, Cass. Looks like you got the memo." Valor said. "Yep, news travels fast. And to answer your question Fitzherbert. Long enough to know you're about to make a fool of yourself. You really think you have what it takes to be a guard?" Cassandra ask him.

"Hmm. Let me think." Valor crosses her arms. 'Here they go again.'  "Superior athletic ability,  razor-sharp acumen, impressive stature, making guards all around the world, including Corona, look like bozos for decades." He listed. "Yeah, I think I can swing it." Eugene confidently concluded.

"You wanna know what I think?"

"That I care what you think?" He laughs. "Let me save you the trouble. I don't." Valor rolls her eyes. "Eugene, are you sure about this? Being a guard isn't the same as being a thief." Valor points out. "Of course! It will be easy."

"You know what I bet. You don't even make it past basic training." Cassandra said. Eugene scoffs. "Training? What is school like? I was great in school. Easiest three days of my life. Who's the teacher anyways?" Eugene asked. "My dad." Eugene gave a slack jaw look. Valor blinks and looks over at him. 'Huh, looks like this became more interesting.'
